“…This study revealed no statistically significant association between the PV diameter and sex ( P > .05) (Table 7). This finding is in contrast with those of the studies by Akanni et al, 2 Geleto et al, 4 and Rapaccini et al, 15 which showed a statistically significant association between sex and the PV diameter. Aqeel et al 11 proposed that the association was only present between female sex and PV diameter.…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and smoking on the diameter of the portal vein (PV). Materials and Methods: This quantitative descriptive study included 113 participants (61.9% males and 38.1% females) who underwent sonography. The participants were selected via convenience sampling. Patients with known cardiac, liver, or biliary diseases were excluded. The PV of each participant was evaluated and measured using a 3.5 MHz transducer and a standard liver sonography imaging protocol. Statistical analyses were performed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, independent t-test, and Pearson correlations. Statistical significance was set at P < .05. Results: The mean age of the participants was 38 ± 16 years (range = 15–86 years). The mean PV diameter and BMI were 9.6 ± 2 mm (range = 4.9–16 mm) and 26.22 ± 8.5 (range = 15.2–39.7), respectively. The mean PV diameter of the participants who did and did not smoke was 10.5 ± 2.3 mm and 9.25 ± 1.8 mm, respectively. The PV diameter showed statistically significant associations with smoking status, age, and BMI ( P = .01, .007, and .022, respectively). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the PV diameter may increase with smoking, age, and BMI; however, no correlation was observed between the PV diameter and sex.

“…More researches are recommended to further assess portal vein diameter in pregnancy. Our value was, however, slightly higher than the 9.83 ± 0.95 mm reported by Akanni et al, in Parakou, Benin, [19] 9.6 ± 1.9 mm reported by Rokni-Yazdi and Sotouden in Iran [20] and 7.9 ± 2.0 mm reported by Hawaz et al, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia [6]. This may be due to the difference in sample size and methodology of the various studies.…”

Background: The portal vein is one of the main sources of blood supply of the liver. About three quarters of the liver blood flow is from the portal vein. Objectives: To assess the mean normal portal vein diameter in healthy pregnant women, and correlate our observation with maternal age, parity and other baseline characteristics. Subjects and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Radiology Units of the two tertiary health facilities, one secondary facility and one radio-diagnostic facility in Bayelsa State, South-South Nigeria, between April, 2022 and December, 2022. Data analysis was done using Statistical Product and Service Solutions for Windows® version 25, SPSS Inc.; Chicago, USA. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages) and Pearson product moment correlation were used for the analysis. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Mean portal vein diameter was 10.43 ± 1.58 mm, and ranged from 7.5 mm to 14.0 mm. Maternal age (ɼ = 0.51; p – 0.001) and parity (ɼ = 0.47; p – 0.001) correlated fairly strong and significantly with portal vein diameter. Gestational age (ɼ = 0.21; p – 0.001) and estimated foetal weight (ɼ = 0.16; p – 0.001) were significantly related to the portal vein diameter. Conclusion: This research has established baseline values for normal range of PV diameter in healthy pregnant women in the South-South region of Nigeria, and also revealed significant correlation of PV diameter with age, parity, gestational age and estimated foetal weight.
